Call to move sex offender mayor John Murray’s photo

Cork’s city councillors are to be asked to consider moving the portrait of former lord mayor John Murray from a prominent location in City Hall after his sexual assault conviction.

Murray, 83, from Gregg Rd in Cork, was jailed earlier this month after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a teenage girl between 1996 and 1998.

Murray, who served as lord mayor in 1993 and 1994, denied all six charges.
